Yeah, I was kind of wondering in an “I’m not really sure I want to know” way what cornholing actually was, so two clicks away and of course, there is a frigging (ridiculously serious) websits://www.playcornhole.org/

So maybe this is how the world ends, not with a bang but with a beanbag. . .

“I’m now worried… I fear the blog has taken a turn for the weird.”

Oh, Odentex?

Really?

I apologize for being partly responsible for hijacking this thread. I’m heading down to 12th and V for some cornholing myself.

Victoriam: It’s already forgotten. I’m now worried about this “cornholing” thing PoP started talking about. I fear the blog has taken a turn for the weird.

Oh dear – boys – just stop fussing and go to your rooms. Perhaps the real criminals are those who make cars that are so easily dented by an errant football!

LOL…thanks for continuing to prove my point.

Jim: I’d simply allow everyone to assign the relative “importance” of actual crime, such as the auto thefts you bemoan in your earlier comment, versus the shocking capital offense of denting a car with a errant football. Perhaps my judgment that the former is less important isn’t the view in the main, but I doubt it.

I find Jamie’s concern about his car getting dented to be natural and understandable – but forming the conclusion from this sucky event that his neighbors “broadly” lack fundamental “respect” for others I find hilariously ironic. You may not like that I have drawn this conclusion from your own damn comments, wherein you demonstrate a “broad lack of respect” for those people who have a “particular way of playing” (gee, who could those “particular” people be?). But you’re not liking it isn’t going to change what you wrote about the “attitude all too prevalent in this city” and the volumes such language speaks.

Linking kids playing to criminality is no “straw man”, brother, that’s your own typewritten position from the last paragraph of your first comment – where you go from disrespect to car theft in record time – so excuse the hell out of me for suggesting you might mean what you type.

I have a car that’s low to the ground. My bike rack is low, too, and when I went over a tall hump on Fairmont, as my rear wheels cleared the hump, my bike came down hard on the hump, bending (ruining) the wheels and derailleur and the frame’s bottom bracket.

Hahaha — by the time I got to the bottom of these comments, I had forgotten what the original post was about. Had to scroll up to check. I guess I’m getting old.
